Calavera oven mitts

I’ve been needing a new set of oven mitts for a while, and I wanted a set that would go with the Dia de los Muertos theme in our kitchen. Hooray for Alexander Henry fabric! Discovered Insul-Bright lining, which is a batting containing a “metallized film”. The mitts make a crinkle sound when I put them on.

I put these ahead of all the other projects on my list because they only took an evening to complete, and with all the baking I have been doing lately they will really come in handy! Cutting out four of each material or lining took longer than the sewing did. I added a layer of cotton batting below the shiny lining for comfort. Very pleased with the results.
